    ‘’We were all gathered at the stadium waiting for the commencement of the praise night when the breeze began. Unfortunately, the mast fell and k!lled the man instantly. His head was shattered and it was a gory sight.

     

    I gathered that he was a driver to the person who was at the stadium to decorate the venue. Most people had to leave the stadium after the rain subsided.”

 

Since then, his body has been removed and put into the morgue. The incident hasn't been commented on by the police command yet.
